Elliot Reed

Rhythm

The exhibition by Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) is now followed by two solo exhibitions by Bri Williams and Elliot Reed. Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) was given carte blanche from the institution in inviting both artists. The works of Bri Williams and Elliot Reed are being presented in Switzerland for the first time.

Elliot Reed (*1992, lives and works in New York) is a dancer, performer, and filmmaker. His works examine the relationship between physicality, time, and systems in conflict. Reed: “Time is my material and my embodied self is the medium.” The artist draws on techniques of improvisation and non-linear, symbolic narrative structures to create new perceptions of reality. His videos, installations, and performances lead to intense, at times unnerving propositions for unleashing alternative potentials that challenge and question the proportionalities of normative micro-networks in social systems. Collective unease is often used as a motivating factor in alluding to the possibility of breaking free of these systems. Reed will perform on-site; video documentation of this performance will be presented in the exhibition.
